Magento - Error log (client rejected by server)

Question

I just checked the error logs and appeared many times:

[error] [client 95.128.128.74] the client refused the server configuration:

/home/public_html/website/app/etc/local.xml

Any suggestions for a fix?

Magento Security Checks

client denied by server configuration: /var/www/httpdocs/app/etc/local.xml This is an Apache error message.

Someone tried to directly access your file local.xmlthrough a web browser, but was blocked by the correct server configuration.

Magento fills your error log with this message, one for each page that you access in the admin area.
